No one said you had to make projects, but what else is the point of scratch? Forums? I think not, for the projects are the true soul of scratch.mit

Never live for mushrooms

I mean some people live for shrooms but is this the place to be making quotes related to such

Windows is to Linux, as the Spanish language is to English.

Windows is designed to be an easy to use operating system, that can do just about anything that you tell it to do. But it does so, at the hard cost of being a ridiculously bloated operating system, riddled of applications and libraries that you won't ever use.

Likewise, the Spanish language is very complex and hard to learn (from what I've experienced myself, and seen on people that study it as a second language), but knowing the language it is very easy to express pretty much anything, as nothing is rigidly defined. Spanish-speaking poets, for instance, can take many liberties with the language and write some really beautiful stuff.

Linux on the other hand, is a simple, secure and solid operating system, that does just what it needs to do, an can be easily extended thanks to the wide selection of software available for it (so much that there's thousands of Linux distributions, remixes of Linus Torvalds' original, for pretty much every purpose). Package managers developed for the many distros of Linux make this just so much easier.

The English language is just as simple and solid. I could write intelligible phrases fluidly in this language when I was 10, after some few weeks reading the LEGO forums, and applying what I knew beforehand thanks to school.    It's no wonder that so many people are taught the language around the world, and that it is the language that connects me, a Chilean teenager, and all of you Scratchers, right now.

Very hard to learn?? English is one of the hardest languages in the world! Spanish is comparatively easy.

Really? I thought English was the easiest. Then I'm either really stupid or French is really hard... Probably I'm really stupid, LOL

I'm afraid "Random Thoughts" isn't enough structure for a forum topic - it sounds a bit too much like a chatroom.  Closing.
